Begin with dynamo

how I can begin with dynamo in revit structure

Start with the Dynamo Primer. Do every exercise, even if it doesn’t seem relevant to your needs. The entire thing is structured to teach you the concepts not to provide outcomes.

After that you can supplement your learning with various YouTube videos, LinkedIn learning, and the like. The Dynamo Office Hours YouTube series is likely worth a watch though it is a bit old at this point.

Next start building your own simpler graphs with what you know. Augmenting with forum assistance.

How i learned Dynamo (without reading the Primer).

I got myself a task i wanted to automate
(in example creating Sheet from Views).
Looked for similar topics on this forum and tried to recreate things in those topic till i got what i wanted. Basically through trial and error.

Also i made really simple and really small graphs like;

  • Set Parameter values.
  • Filter Elements.
  • Changing Familie names.
  • Etc.

Later i tried incorporate those small graphs into one working graph.

Some tips:

  • Get familiar with terms like;
    string, double, integer, nulls, empty, true / false, levels and lacing.
  • Read any warning which may pop up carefully.
  • Read what nodes do carefully by hovering over them.
  • Save all your early working Dynamo graphs (so you can copy-paste from them later).
  • Read what the inputs (of a node) need carefully(!).
  • Pin :pushpin: the previewbubbles so you get familiar with list structures.

PS
I do recommend going through the Dynamo Primer too though :sweat_smile:.

Happy Dynamoing!

When you open Dynamo there are some ready-made scripts too (unless they removed them).
Have a look at these too.
